Bizarre Poker Dreams/Nightmares

Date: Wed, Oct 12, 2011 Internet

I usually don't remember too many dreams/nightmares, its either that or i wake up in a small wet sticky patch with a stonking 12 inches :) Anyways, i had a strange one just after waking up today that i thought i'd quickly share....

I was playing in this years WSOP although this particular WSOP had a twist! Its was event no. 128 which at the time i thought to be the head up Blackjack event. I was drawn against Barry Greenstein in round one. It was best of three and Bazza comfortably beat me 2-0, sigh. However, it wasn't until the last hand of the 2nd game that i'd realised that it wasn't the HU Blackjack event but that it was in fact the HU mixed game event, mega sigh. The first game was called Raggy Doll and Baz pwned me real hard in that one and the 2nd game was limit holdem. I hazily remember sticking on K9 and Bazza somehow beat me with 88. I was like wtf? k9 is better than 88 in Blackjack? We had to get the tournament director over which was obviously Kathy Liebert?? wtfff? and she explained that it was the HU mixed game event and not Blackjack! ytrdgfkyugjkhjoiljk

Anyone got any random dreams they remember?

EDIT: LOL, just remembered another poker nightmare i had years ago that i posted on my blog about David Benaymine wanting sexual favours, check this out...

Settling In

Date: Tue, Sep 20, 2011 Internet

So far we've not done too much really so if people are hoping to read stories about me drunkenly rumping lady boys in Patong then you're gonna be disappointed, there's plenty of time for that :) Also, the weather has been pretty shit because we are in the middle of the wet season atm so the area is pretty quiet too and probs will be until November time. I'm in no rush thou as I've been here before plus this is kind of a different trip to other travels I've been on so far. I need to work/play poker at the same time. I'm here for at least 6 months so there is more than enough time for me to do everything i want and more ;)

Here's a link to my second post from Thailand on PokerEncore complete with a pic of my new wheels, my new poker set up and my new pet posing with a lizard, check it...

My New Home

Date: Mon, Sep 12, 2011 Internet

First blog post all the way from Phuket complete with a quick video tour of our new gaff. I think the only reason i got the master room was because Cos spotted a tiny Geeko lizard when we were being shown around and the fish abs shit himself! He's scared of everything that boy. The other day he was on the back of my scootay and i slowed down next to some wild dogs just to shit him up abit ;) and he was like arrrrgh go faster Amatay their gonna attack us go faster. Pretty sure its the only time he's told me to go faster on the scootay, usually its sloooow down Amatay, watch out for the bump, slow, slow etc etc. Driving past a piece of wood yesterday he shat himself because he thought it was a snake, lolz. Speaking of snakes the greek fish went for a dip in the pool the other night and snap got out about 2 seconds later claiming he couldnt see in the water and that he was worried a water snake might grab him. lol, straight up, no jokes. The fish freaks out at everything! Just a minute ago we emptied the bin and there was a lizard in there. I've never the fish run so fast in my life. He shot out the door screaming like a lil girl. Fkin pmsl! Anyways, click the link below and check out the new crib on POKER ENCORE!

Amatay Archives #4 - My First Month as a 'Pro'

Date: Sun, Sep 11, 2011 Internet

Scanning my previous posts last week when i clicked on January 2008 and came across 18 posts from that month alone! I used to update this thing tons back then plus i got a shit load of comments and i also really enjoyed blogging. I quit my job in Dec 2007 so this was my first month as a full time fish. Some of them are quite funny imo, its a pretty childish style of writing i have and its always strange for me to read back over these posts. I was a cash game fish back then and my style of play and deffo my mindset has changed alot since. Anyways, feel free to take a peak at what i was doing 3 and a half yrs ago, lolz.

http://amatay.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html

I have a new post written from my new home in Phuket but i'm waitng for it go up onto Encore so until then enjoy some Amatay 'classics' ;)

Amatay Archives #3 - Bust

Date: Wed, Aug 31, 2011 Internet

Gonna put this epic bluff in at number 3 i think. Its not a great read tbh, its just i managed to blag sooo many people. I had been a 'pro' fish for about 3 months prior to this post and decided to try and fool some of my fishay fanboys on April 1st 2008. I made up some story about me going busto, edited some HH's and got my mate Adam to add a bit of authenticity in the comments section, geeeeeenius! I also put comment moderation on and only posted the comments of those who fell for it before posting the rest. lol @ over 100 comments within 24 hrs, surely an unprecedented number in the world of poker blogging? This is when i was at the peak of my powers babay!

Had a really stressful last couple of weeks in regards to moving and other stuff, will write an Encore blog before i jet off to Thailand in 1 week!!!!
